Ever wonder about the final straw that will bring down western civilization? A British judge may have created it. On November 3rd, Mr Justice Michael Burton, the same judge that allowed continued showing of An Inconvenient Truth to children in British schools even while recognizing it to be a dishonest political propaganda film decided... »

Lord Christopher Monckton has issued a dire warning about a proposed international agreement on climate change, which is supported by Barack Obama and many Democrats along with some Republicans in Congress. The treaty will be the subject of the Copenhagen Climate Summit in December. He notes that international treaties take precedence over domestic application... »

What America needs today is a democratic movement. It’s obvious that the Democratic movement for “Hope and Change” has failed. What’s so controversial about posting proposed legislation on the Internet for 72 hours to allow people to review it before a vote? Democrats oppose it. In my opinion, the major fault of the proposal is... »

Alan Grayson (D-FL) has become the class clown of Congress, beating out some very heavy competition. How can anyone take a political party seriously that doesn’t do as much for itself? Grayson ruffled feathers and spread glee among the partisan flock a couple of weeks ago when he made this claim: “If you get sick,... »

I once thought of Barack Obama as an evil man. Barack Obama dismisses his critics with the enthusiasm of a child leaving school for summer vacation. Perhaps we are not completely right about everything we say. Reading someone on the inside, especially someone who plays us with carefully practiced external behavior is a tricky business.... »

Parents are afraid to send their children to school after seeing new evidence that Barack Obama’s school indoctrination program is a reality. A now famous video clip surfaced on YouTube showing children at the Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington, New Jersey singing songs praising Barack Obama and chanting tid-bits of draconian far-left political... »

The American people are more than just a little sick of being lied to and cheated by their politicians. Barack Obama remains defiant, trivializing historic protests taking place throughout the nation. In his most recent PR thrust, this past Friday, he brushed the national fury aside by characterizing it as typical right-left drivel, and likened... »

Barack Obama and the Democrats took the country by storm in January – really they did. They and their large following issued statements about their power over others, threw hundreds of billions in public money out windows to friends, signed support organizations up for special powers and public funding, completed and announced further plans... »

Hope for positive change rose yesterday when according to one estimate, as many as two million people marched on Washington DC; even as Barack Obama hid from them in Minnesota. It was one of the highlights of hundreds of events around the country with the participation of millions of ordinary citizens who know that... »

Being no stranger to political debate, I am constantly irritated by the ceaseless drum-beat of vacuous partisan come-backs. Most often from the left – Rush Limbaugh this, “you right-wingers” – and the endless drone of repeated propaganda “talking points”. Let me introduce myself. I am one of the forgotten people, lost in the haze of... »

Critics say that there is often a hidden agenda behind political reform; no more so when it involves the federal government intruding in areas that the Constitution reserves to the states and to the people. The excuse given for federalizing health insurance is as fake as Al Gore’s global warming scare. As Karl Rove points... »

The ACLU has an Internet advertisement that is – in a way – a joy to watch. In a way that should seem quite concrete to everyone, the ad illustrates a situation in which too much personal information is in the wrong hands. The link is rapidly circulating through cyberspace. The animated ad... »

Nothing more immediately spoils the honesty of political debate in America today than the common use of the terms “liberal” and “conservative.” They are too often used anachronistically, in a way maintained in the public mind through narrow relative thinking – and probably more often without thinking at all. It is common for these terms... »

Foreword: America Without “Liberal” or “Conservative” Representation In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist; And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist; And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because... »

The Democratic Party’s strategy for dealing with rapidly growing discontent is clear. Run and hide. With a growing movement of Americans choosing not to remain silent, the normal one-way flow of misinformation and power-grabbing is being interrupted. Rep. Tim Bishop (D-N.Y.), for example, has chosen to suspend public meetings on Long Island rather... »

Back when I was a kid, critical reasoning was described as a fundamental skill. We were given statistics in the classroom on the truth of newspaper and television news reports, demonstrating absolutely that you cannot take the truth of what you read and hear for granted. If we really wanted to understand anything rather... »

Over the last two decades, some amazing things have happened in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Governments have been pouring money into AI and robotics, yielding meaningful progress. Some powerful AI systems have gone commercial; others are on the brink. But these accomplishments are sometimes being overshadowed by commentary on robot emotions, robot... »

The remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) was quite a disappointment to sci-fi fans. Viewers gave it just over 2 stars at Amazon.com. That’s slightly worse than Assignment: Outer Space (1960) and more than a point and a half behind Kronos (1950). If you haven’t heard of either, don’t worry about... »

Earth and Environmental Scientist Peter Doran recently surveyed 3,146 scientists in an effort to clarify the “scientific consensus” on global warming. Professor Doran has previously complained that his study revealing cooling in the Antarctic had been misinterpreted, causing confusion in the global warming debate. Here we go again. Although I have not yet found the... »
